Exhibition Content:
Mirror 36
by Gerry McCulloch & Betsy McCall
Mirror 36 is a cinematic face bath in the form of an immersive projection-mapped art installation. A Mirror interaction dissolves boundaries of language, religion, politics, ethnicity, age, gender, socio-economic status and personal sovereignty. Through facilitated yet disciplined non-intervention, the artwork triggers us to locate ourselves in the diversity of 36 other people, while locating others in the diversity of ourselves.
Communicating Change
by Claire van Rhyn
Communicating Change presents practice-led research in progress. It proposes the body as a crucial modality for supporting the communication of social change and cultural transition in communities. The research project is a cross-pollination between design and choreography, applying an awareness-based participatory and body-led approach to investigating the communication of social change in groups, with a particular focus on educational futures.
Workshop | The body as modality for social change
with Claire van Rhyn
This interactive workshop introduces the research behind Communicating Change and offers participants the opportunity to try out some collaborative improvisation activities - such as the eye-contact game which originally inspired Mirror 36. These semi-structured games create simple 'ecologies' in which participants make decisions on how to situate their actions, by attending to the awareness of their own experience and that of others. Through a participatory body-led approach we will investigate the dynamics of social communication in groups.
